DESCRIPTION

This ritual binds a star vampire to carry out a single task directed by the caster. When this ritual is initiated, the star vampire cannot harm any of the casters, nor can it move beyond the ritual’s range except while the ritual is interrupted. It receives a Will saving throw to negate the binding’s control only after the casting is complete.
